was it this very cahnnel or another one where I stated just today: "why is a closed source program allowed when it runs in user land on a GNU linux system, but _not_ allowed when I offload it to a coprocessor located on a peropheral chip?"

anyhow.. whichever vendor makes the race.. there needs to be some way to flash/ramload that hardmac to be able to update its firmware (closed or not) and a proper process to get these. i got quite some devices around which basically arent useable anymore due to 'too old wifi'
